In this paper, we consider the optimal fuzzy filter of nonlinear discrete-time with estimation error variance constraint. First, the Takagi and Sugeno(T-S) fuzzy model is employed to approximate the nonlinear system. Next, the error state is mean square bounded, and the steady state variance of the estimation error of each state is not more than the individual predefined value. It is shown that, the addressed problem can be carried out by solving linear matrix inequality(LMI) and some algebraic quadratic matrix inequalities. Finally, some examples are provided to illustrate the design procedure and expected performance through simulations.

Generally, container arrangement has been carried out based on the Classification guidelines. However, guidelines provide only container securing forces for the given container arrangement and Classification requirements of the forces. In order to design container arrangement additional information is needed such as container securing forces and arrangement that accounts for lashing bridges, vertical lashing, vertical center of gravity (VCG), and maximum stack weight. Trial and error method using the existing guidelines requires excessive amount of calculation time and cannot provide accurate results of the calculations. In order to fulfill this need, a new container securing system has been established based on the equilibrium conditions that include lashing bridges and vertical lashing. An optimization algorithm has been developed for the new system since current optimization methods such as genetic algorithms and evolution strategies are unsuitable for the container securing problems, which involve equality constraint. Design variables are container weights of tier and objective function is either total container weight or VCG of a stack. The newly developed system provides optimum arrangement of containers for both maximum stack weight and maximum VCG. It also greatly reduces time for designing container arrangement.

This paper presents a method for designing guaranteed cost fuzzy filter with a desired H$_{\infty}$ disturbance rejection constraint of delayed fuzzy dynamic systems. This method not only guarantees an induced L$_2$ norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation, but also minimizes an upper bound on a linear quadratic performance measure. A sufficient condition for the existence of guaranteed cost fuzzy filter with H$_{\infty}$ constraint is then presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). A simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and performances of the proposed methods.

In this Paper, we present a method for designing fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controllers of delayed nonlinear systems with saturating input. Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is employed to represent delayed nonlinear systems with saturating input. The fuzzy control systems utilize the concept of the so-called parallel distributed compensation(PDC). Using a single quadratic Lyapunov function, the globally exponential stability and $H_2/H_{\infty}$ performance problem are discussed. And a sufficient condition for the existence of fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controllers is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The designing fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controllers minimize an upper bound on a linear quadratic performance measure. Finally, a design example of fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controller for uncertain delayed nonlinear systems with saturating input.

Container vessel sizes have constantly increased over the past two decades. With increasing ship sizes and higher container loading capacities, the adoption of lashing bridges has also increased. Today's lashing bridge designs range from 1st tier to 3rd tier lashing bridges. Container securing program of the past which is based on two lashing rods and 1st tier lashing bridge has to be improved to be suitable for the present time. The equilibrium equations in this study are established to cover the application of 3~4 lashing rods and 2nd~3rd tier lashing bridges. In addition developed program is improved to be able to calculate the reaction forces and optimum arrangement under the external lashing. An optimization algorithm which is suitable for the container securing problems involved the equality constraint has been also adopted in this study.
